Previous studies have indicated that cancer patients may have a lower level of subjective well-being (SWB); nevertheless, the underlying factors for this phenomenon remain insufficiently investigated. Based on the characteristics of Chinese breast cancer patients and the unique culture, this study explored the independent contributions of death anxiety, self-esteem, and social support to SWB from the protective and risk perspectives. A cross-sectional survey recruited 514 females with breast cancer and collected participants' demographic and the above variables. The results found that death anxiety independently predicted SWB in a negative direction (β = −0.36, p < 0.001). In addition, self-esteem (β = 0.38, p < 0.001) and social support (β = 0.14, p < 0.001) also had the unique positive effects on SWB. These findings offer new insights into strengthening breast cancer patients' SWB, for instance, using relevant interventions to reduce death anxiety and improve self-esteem and social support
